Robert Redford's latest film, Lions for Lambs,"" is so desperate
in its attempts at relevance and profundity that when it fails to
evoke the desired inspiration in American politics, the failure is
as glaringly obvious as it is unsurprising.

Jolly Bob's Jamaican Restaurant, 1210 Williamson St., offers
good food and tasty drink specials without the tacky island décor

As a bi-weekly and bi-sexual food columnist, I typically use my
allotted space to dish out mouth-watering recipes that are yummy
with a capital Y, or to give the skinny on which local restaurants
are worthy of a college student's much-needed - or should I say
kneaded - dough.

Everybody has a fatal flaw, a trait making them appear
horrifically ugly, and that will one day destroy their existence.
Some people are too accommodating, taking on too much for others.
Some are too obsessed with themselves. Others are homeless. My
major downfall is I am too honest.

In case you've never done it, I highly recommend taking a moment
to Google yourself. Aside from the narcissistic fun to be had, this
is also a great way to see how your name is represented by people
all over the planet.

I used to depend on a stuffed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle to
protect me from the monsters that lurked in the dark of night. That
really wasn't all that long ago, but since coming to Madison I've
learned that darkness harbors no scary beasts—just goofy ass
drunken creatures.

In seventh grade, I chose ""Oliver Twist"" for a book report. As
I came across words like ""dilapidated,"" I thought to myself,

like everybody else?""

Your life is full of spectacle, drama and hilarious moments. You
don't need some old dude in an editing room wearing a ""Lord of the
Rings"" baseball hat to tell you that somewhere in the seemingly

I created a little quiz. Take it, and it will tell you which film
character is most likely to be YOUR alter-ego. Enjoy!

Adam Sandler has built a career out of playing characters whose
internal logic is so skewed as to render them unrecognizable as
human beings. Over the years, he has portrayed a stuttering
waterboy, the son of Satan and a man given a remote control that
can alter time and space. Nevertheless, it's in his newest dramatic
turn, Mike Binder's ""Reign Over Me,"" that Sandler plays his least
believable character yet—a Sept. 11 widower.

Black leather typically says one thing—trouble with a capital
""t"", sometimes in a good way. But in the case of the overstuffed
chairs of the Chazen Museum library, it reads more like divinely
comfortable and magically plush. However, under all the surface
Trouble certainly lies. Even the biggest, toughest looking of
characters melt within its captivity and transform into napping
babies.
